I did a comparison with a few songs that both IFE had and I had on my iPhone :
- iphone + stock apple ear bud headphones were much, much better quality

I think I will now finally buy some proper headphones to take on the plane, as the stock version is now unusable for music.


Thanks CX...


Had the new headphones again on a HKG-SIN flight.

I retract some of what I said above. The sound for movies / TV is awful too, not even just ok. .

All around, pretty terrible product, and certainly a step backwards from the current offering.
